Quick Start Guide

This Quick Start Guide assists you in quickly connecting to and configuring DAP. To learn more please refer to the DAP User Manual. DAP can be also managed by DAC platform, please refer to the DAC User Manual.

Note

• To keep DAP working in Cluster mode, please ensure there is no DHCP option 43 and 138 in the network. With DHCP option 43 or 138, the DAP comes up in DAC mode.

Typical topology

1. All APs connect to a PoE switch and the PoE switch connect to a router which provides DHCP service for APs and Wi-Fi users.
2.  If AP receives option 43 or option 138 from the DHCP server specifying the management IP, the AP will boot up and entering to DAC mode. Else the AP will enter Cluster mode.
3. Ps in one cluster should be in the same Layer 2 network. (Tip: You can firstly config one AP then power on others to join the cluster automatically.)
4. If DAP couldn’t finish initialization, please check
   • Ethernet cable status
   • POE is enabled on the switch port that AP connected.

AP Initialization

Step 1: How to Access AP Web Page
By default, DAP will broadcast the WLAN ‘mywifi-xxxx’ (xxxx = the last two bytes of the AP MAC address). You can connect to ‘mywifi-xxxx’ and browse http://find.dragonflyap.com:8080 to access the AP web page.

Figure 2: AP Login Page

Recommend to access AP web Page by Chrome Browser for best user experience.

Step 2: About Login Accounts
Choose Administrator and default password is admin. Login AP web page, and you can access Figure 3. Select “Cluster” to cluster mode, or you can select “DAC” to DAC mode.

Figure 3: AP Wizard – Mode Selection
There are three pre-configured login accounts: Administrator, Viewer and GuestOperator. You may modify the account password, but the account name isn’t modifiable. Administrator can configure and check the AP status, Viewer can check the AP status ONLY, while GuestOperator can check the AP status and register accounts for portal authentication. By default, the password for all accounts is ‘admin’ and the wizard will guide you to modify the Administrator password upon AP login. More detailed configuration guide, please refer to DAP User Manual.

Step 3: Welcome Page
When initially logging into an AP from Figure 3, a configuration wizard will pop up. The following steps show how to use the setup wizard to modify the Administrator password and create a WLAN.

Step 4: Modify Administrator Password
The password must be composed of numbers and capital or lower-case letters of the English alphabet and with a length of 4-16 characters.

Note: The page below will be displayed to select the country or region.

Step 5: Create New WLAN
For example, create a WLAN, “DAP_MGMT”for network management purpose, select ‘Both (WPA&WPA2)’ security method and set the password to be ‘abc123!#’. By default, portal authentication is disabled when creating a WLAN. If you want to enable the portal page authentication, please refer to the User Manual for details.

Step 6: Confirmation Page
After you complete AP initialization with the Wizard, the WLAN “mywifi-xxxx” will be deleted. You can then connect to the “DAP_MGMT” WLAN to continue with other configuration tasks.

Before You Begin

Before installing your access point, be sure that you have the following items:

• 8-conductor, CAT5 or better UTP cable of required length.
• One of the following power sources:
  • ◼ IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source (PoE switch or PoE injector).
  • ◼ AC-DC adapter (sold separately)，output voltage DC 48V, output current ≥0.35A
• A terminal or a notebook
• Tools: Cross screwdriver, impact drill (drill Φ6)

Identifying Specific Installation Locations

You can mount the AP on a ceiling rail or on a wall. You should first determine the location of the installation. The installation position is located at the center of the required coverage area and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference.

• Minimize the number of obstructions (such as walls) between the AP and user terminals.
• Electronic equipment or devices (such as microwave ovens) which may produce radio frequency noise should be away from the installation position of the AP.

It is strictly prohibited to install around stagnant water, water seepage, leakage or condensation. Avoid cable condensation or water seepage along the cables connecting to the AP.

AP Installation

Follow the steps below for all new AP installations:

1. Mark two drilling hole center marks on the wall at a proper location. Make sure they are of the same height to the ground and have a distance of 100mm between them, equivalent to that between the holes of the AP (see Figure .
2. Drill two holes at the center marks about 6mm in diameter and 25mm in depth. This is approximately the same size as the wall anchors (see Figure 5).
3. Insert two wall anchors and tap them into the holes (see Figure 6).
4. Insert two screws into the wall anchors with 2mm length left remaining (see Figure 7).
5. Push the mounting bracket along the direction of the arrows until it locks in the slot (see Figure 8-10).
6. Connect the cable to the port on the AP.
7. Align the bottom holes of mounting bracket with the mounting screws (see Figure 11). After inserting push down on the AP until it is secure (see Figure 12). The installation is complete.
